I would have expected sequels in terms of a comic book series but I'm ok with this.

The untitled Star Trek sequel (also known as Star Trek XII) is the follow-up to the 2009 film Star Trek. Its development was announced on 30 March 2009, over a month before the first film was released. It is currently slated for release on 29 June 2012.

J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk will be returning to produce the film via their company, Bad Robot Productions. Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman will again write the screenplay, along with Damon Lindelof; Orci, Kurtzman, and Lindelof will all receive producing credit, as well.

There is currently no word on whether or not Abrams will return as director. Abrams had previously stated he would be open to directing a sequel.

The writers were aiming to deliver the script to Paramount by Christmas 2009 for a possible Summer 2011 release, but the release changed to 2012 with no script being written as that initial target neared.

All of the major actors in the film – namely, those portraying the core crew members of the USS Enterprise (John Cho, Simon Pegg, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoë Saldana, Karl Urban, and Anton Yelchin) – are contracted to appear in this film.

Abrams has explained with the alternate reality set up in Star Trek, it would be "ridiculous to not be open" to ideas like resurrecting William Shatner's James T. Kirk or recasting Khan Noonien Singh. "The idea, now that we are in an independent timeline, allows us to use any of the ingredients from the past – or come up with brand-new ones – to make potential stories," he said. [6] When asked specifically about Khan, Orci said he would prefer to develop a story first and then see whether he would be appropriate for it.

Abrams was also asked what number should the sequel have and he noted that if they make a sequel, "it would have a subtitle instead of a number."

Abrams and Orci told the Los Angeles Times they have heard that fans would like modern, relevant issues to be explored in the sequel. At the end of the Star Trek DVD commentary, someone jokingly refers to the sequel as Pineapple.

At the Blu-ray/DVD launch for Star Trek, Lindelof indicated some of the film may be set during the timeframe of the previous film, which was from 2233 to 2258. Orci told Anthony Pascale he was looking at novels by Arthur C. Clarke or Larry Niven, particularly The Mote in God's Eye (in a post he made on their forum), for inspiration, and that he was rewatching original episodes and examining their stories in the context of the alternate reality.

^Look for R2-D2 in the scene where the enterprise comes out of warp at vulcan and there's all that debris flying around.

I had heard they got the 4th of July spot in 2012?

edit: nvm I'm an idiot.

[Takedown3]

too big to fail

[Arew]

<3<3<3 Can't wait.

[SephYuyX]

2012 lol?

[Qalbert]

yeah, premature enthreadulation a bit

[berkeleyman]

Ha!

[Kaslo]

Ha!

Quality first post dude. (just kidding! couldn't resist)

I actually would love to see them revisit some of the past characters/storylines instead of just making brand new unseen storylines. There is too much that could have also been effected by the split in the timeline that I would love to see.

[Takedown3]

some eugenics wars shit could be pretty awesome

[ZarakiKujata]

next movie obviously needs klingons, also they could easily do some kind of storyline to parallel wrath of khan since I remember both shatner and the writers expressing interest in having future kirk in this one too.

Relations between the federation could be alot different than in TOS. Which could lead to some dramatically different Klingon storylines.

Also with the fall of Vulcan I would love to see something about the Andorians since, other than in Enterprise, they aren't usually talked about when they are one of the four founding races. Maybe with the Vulcans gone the Andorians try to take control of the federation?

seriously? lol

[ZarakiKujata]

seriously? lol

yeah; also while I would be interested in an alternate klingon story I feel that the neckbeard trekkers would kill JJ Abrams and yet doing something with the andorians might not be interesting to the casuals who just got into trek cause of the movie

[Kurp]

I don't think we'll see the Andorians as a major focus for the sole reason that they look fucking retarded.

[Qalbert]

seriously? lol
